Enumclaw businesses and residents can help raise awareness of domestic violence by participating in Purple Light Nights ® that started in Covington in 2007 and has spread to 24 states, three Canadian provinces and Guam.

For more information or to purchase your own purple lights, please call LINCCK at 360-825-5581.
